Direct support for creators

Tippy gives creators a personal page where their audience can send tips in naira and leave a message. A simple way to support someone whose work you enjoy.

Why

Some of the work we value most is shared freely. A tutorial helps us solve a problem. A writer publishes something we keep coming back to. We want to make it easier to give something back to the people behind that work.

Tippy is built around voluntary support. Someone can send a tip because they appreciated what a creator made, with a personal note to tell them why.

I'm starting with Nigerian creators and working toward making that experience available to more creators across Africa.

How it works

Creators set up a Tippy page and share their link wherever their audience finds them. Supporters choose an amount, add an optional message, and send their tip. Creators receive payouts to their bank account.

The focus is keeping that experience straightforward, from setting up a page to sending the first tip.
